The current cemetery chapel dates from the end of the 15th century, but was first mentioned in documents in 1233. The interior features beautiful late Gothic wall paintings of Saint Michael with the scales of souls, the evangelists and church fathers, angels, and Christ as judge of the world with Mary, John and six apostles.

Both the church with the famous Schnatterpeck altar and the cemetery are worth seeing!

This cemetery chapel was dedicated to the Archangel Michael. The name (from the Hebrew language) means "Who is like God?" He is often depicted - in paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, occasionally also with a lance. Michael is - together with Raphael and Gabriel, and occasionally Uriel is also included - one of the three or four archangels who (according to human belief) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is September 29th.
